古晋，广扬兄左一
29-5-2012I know Peter Tan (above left) of Seremban through Legion fellowship more than 22 years ago.
Three weeks ago he underwent an angioplasty in Serdang hospital and is recovering well at home.
My wife and I, accompanied by Anna and Stephen of Seremban visited him at home this morning, and was warmly welcome by him and his wife.
Peter (78) is an active legionary and regularly making hospital and home visitations until the discovery of his heart problem 2 months ago.
His heart blockage has been cleared but not his emotional and spiritual blockage.
Being a regular church goer, he lamented the closure of Adoration room of his parish.
The Adoration Room was built through generous donation of parishioners and was well used by regular church goers... to pray, to meditate, to adore and to rest in the Lord.
The room is now shuttered by the parish priest due to some reasons which were not fully agreed by parishioners. “people sleeping inside", "young boys and girls courting inside"... ( Blogger: means When your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out?..)
He is still feeling sad despite of his successful angioplasty.
We bid goodbye to Peter and wife, to visit a lady in an old folks home in Sikamat New Village.
Maria (71) has just been moved into this open nursing home less than a month. It is home for folks that can look after themselves.
Home is divided into male and female sections. Inmates are free to do activities of their choice, such as morning exercise, cleaning chores, watching TV, drink and dine outside the home with visitors...
The place is spacious and comfortable and Maria is happy to be here.
The home is managed by a NGO.
我认识陈广扬兄已经超过22 年了。我们是在圣母军聚会里认识的。
大约三个星期前，他在沙登政府医院成功的进行了一个血管扩张手术（俗称吹气球），目前在家静养康复中。
今早，我及太太，在芙蓉年娇及丈夫金彪的配同下，到他家探访，受到广扬兄及太太的热情欢迎。
广扬兄（78岁）是位非常活跃的圣母军团员，直到他心脏血管阻塞前，他与太太都定期的出外做拜访工作，如探访医院，送圣体等。
现在他血管已经获得疏通，但情绪及灵修的郁闷及伤心，却暂时还没办法如血管般的疏通。
他是一位虔诚的教友，常去教堂参加弥撒，祈祷及朝拜圣体。他感到伤悲，因为教堂的『圣体室』被关闭了。
这个有教友慷慨乐捐建成的圣体室，被现任本堂神父以一些教友不能完全接受的理由而关闭了。“教友在里面睡觉”，“青年男女在里面打情骂俏”是部分原因。（博主：“切指避沙虫”及眼睛使你犯罪，把它挖掉”的异曲同工之妙？）
他为了没有一个安静舒适朝拜圣体的地方而郁闷。
告别了广扬兄夫妇，我们到芙蓉小甘密新村探访一位朋友。
Maria 玛利亚 （71岁）刚在不到一个月前，搬进这家开放式的老人院。这里地方广阔，相当舒适。这里只收容能够自顾的老人。
老人院分成男女两部分。他们可以自由选择自己的活动，如早操，打扫，闲谈，看报纸，看电视，与访客出外喝茶，吃饭等。
玛利亚非常喜欢这个有非政府组织管理的老人院。
老人都是单身者，只有这对夫妻觉得浪漫，在这棵红毛丹树下“罗曼兴”(romancing) 一下，希望院方不会把这树砍掉！（老人院里面的一棵大树，树荫非常的凉爽）All inmates are single. This couple feeling romantic ... romancing under the tree... hoped the home authority does not chop it down because of them.. ( A big rambutan tree in the home that provides shades and cools the place)
